Topic: RE: burping?
I still get burps or some of those funny sounds and it has been 6 months since surgery. It's more funny than anything. You will start to learn when one is coming around.

Topic: RE: Well I didn't "pass" psych

Sounds like she over reacted to your two sanwiches!  The doctor for my psych eval classified me as  having "eating disorder NOS"  I think that means non-specified, because I confided in him that I do have an emotional eating issue.  Eating makes me feel better and I eat when I'm sad, upset, anxious, bored, etc.  When the WLS clinic saw that, they said I had to seek therapy for this issue before I could have surgery because he diagnosed it as an eating disorder.  You're probably in the same boat.  I found a thepist at an eating disorder clinic and after 2 visits, her professional opinion was that the 1st doctor incorrectly diagnosed me with that, and I don't have it.  I am still seeing her to get help with emotional eating, but I feel like I've really improved.  We ALL emtionally eat, but i think some worse than others.  Get a 2nd opinion. It seems rediculous based on what you shared that what you did would be considered a binge.

yes, I have a digital scale. I told myself I would only weigh once a week, but yea, it's more than once a week. LOL I'm just so excited and like to see the weight coming off. But I don't do it everyday or anything.

Topic: RE: catheda! i think i spelled it right!lol
LOL! No personal experience there! 

My ex-father in law had back surgery which rendered him incontinent. He, too, has to void with a catheter several times a day. I never really talked to him about it, but I can't imagine it was too painful - then again, who knows?

Maybe you should try your question on the men's forum?

Good luck to ya!

From what I understand, it is pretty routine to get a catheter. I have heard some people complain that it is uncomfortable. I have spina bifida and must use a catheter every time I urinate, so I'm more used to it. It doesn't hurt at all - some people say it makes them feel like they have to go constantly, but if you just relax, it is no big deal!
